ST. 11ELKNA. [Continued fre-n, Ye , terday's SUN.] Plantation House, May 3, 18113. SlR,—Tleferring to your letter to Count Bertrand, wherein you state in one part, that you are not to stir ont of Lon:L wow!, and in a subsequtnt part, that you see it was the in tention, by stedecting you to such restriction (which you are pleased to consider the same as those imposed upon the )French prisoners), to oblige you to quit, I am directed y the Governor to convey to you his sentiments as fk: I 1 ow : toodv of expression in the first instance, and the total oloiA , ;ion of all those exceptions which constitute the chief e,,riety between your situation and that of the French pri , .orrers, particularly that where you are allowed to quit lungwood on asking the Governor's permission—the silence observed in your letter to Count Bertrand, on all points con tained in the Governor's instructions appertaining to your medical duty—the suhstitution of any inference whatever of your own, in place of the instruction given before any ex planation was• sought from the authority which transmitted it to you—your imt»ediatv appeal to Napoleon Buonaparte end Count. Bertrand, even before you addressed your Naval Superior—your preference of written communication over a verbal one to Count Bertrand, with whom you had every op portunity of verbally communicating—of a verbal to a writ ten one to the Admiral, whose assent was required previous to your waiting upon him, in both of which cases a pro clamation was to be broken through or an order dis obeyed —your disobedience of the Governor's orders ins mediately ou receiving them, and your openly declared dis avowal of his authority when you went to wait upon your paved superior, are circumstances upon which he shall not make any further comment, than to say, that no purposed de sign to evince insubordination, to create the greatest possible embarrassment in the Governor's relations with Ihe person under his custody—to mislead, to inflame and irritate, and to cover a doullle view of quitting a person whom you had pledged yourself not to quit, and at the same time to make the act appear that of the Governor, could have been well devised. The Governor knows not in what degree the incon veniencies which your most insubordinate, disrespectful, and extraordinary line of conduct may be remedied; but he shall nevertheless not neglect his duty in pointing out what he considers the conduct you ought to pursue. He authorise, you, in the first instance, to, spew the in struction you bare received, and to point out the too marked differences existing between its words and what you quote from it in your letter to Count Bertrand, as above stated. • He authorises you, at the same time, to controvert, upon the Governor's declaration, that there was any intention on his part to compel you sifter to resign or quit. He knew before-hand of your intention to resign, hut it never siteied into his mind that you could have been awaiting any order that you might deem objectionable from him, to base the tender of your resignation upon. If it had not been from consideration of the state of Na poleon Boonaparte's health, it would have been the Gover nor's mcrst bounden duty not to have awaited the form of any resignation from you, but to have removed you at once from a situation which he considered you ought no longer to he permitted to fill, as well from the unauthorised pledges you had entered into with a person situated as Napoleon Buoua pirate is, so long concealed from the authority you were under (of which a new one appears in your letter to Count, Bertrand), as your having rendered yourself a channel for presentc, and bearer of private and unauthorised communi cations in regard to them ; not to speak of the acts and ►ine of proceeding touched upon in the second paragraph of this letter. In not having removed you upon such manifest grounds of impropriety, he has carried his personal consideration for Na poleon Buonaparte to the utmost extent which humanity points out, and very far beyond what his public duty ought to permit. He now desires me to conclude with saying, that if Napo leon Buonaparte does not, in his present situation, derive the full benefit of your medical advice, and dues not have perso nal recourse to the same, it i, your line of proceeding he shall consider and treat as the leading cause, it being entirely the result of your suffering yourself to he employed in matters riot pertaining to your medical duty, in defiance of Proclama tion and the Governor's repeated directions to you, of your Unlawful letter to Count Bertrand for Napoleon Buonaparte's information, and of your openly declared disavowal of the Governor's authority immediately after you bad written it. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, (Signed) EDWARD %VYNYARD. Barry O'Meara, Esq. Lieut.-Col. Mil. Sec. Longwood, Mayl4, 1818. SlN—According to the directions contained in your letter, bearin; date the 3ii of May, I have communicated the orders contained in Sir Thos. Reade's letter of the 10th April to Count Bertrand. In reply to some of the observations contained in your let ter, I have to remark that the French Prisonerscan leave Long wood without asking any person's permission, and that during nearly three years which I have been here I have had no reference to make for judgment or decision to any Naval Officer, not even the Admiral, with respect to my duties as Surgeon to Napoleon Buonaparte, since the period when Sir G. Cockburn gave up the charge of him. On the I2th, as soon as I received the orders of Sir Thomas Reade, I proceeded to the Admiral, not to take his orders, but to consult him and to crave his advice, as I would have done to my father, were he in St. Helena, in consequence of having, since I have been in the service, considered Admirals in that light. 1 am not in any wise culpable or accountable for the incon veniencies which may result from the extraordinary conduct v.hich has been pursued with respect to me, as the order of the loth of April was premeditated for a long time, and I gave notice that it would be followed by an immediate resig iiiition. My conscience would not permit me to tell Count Bertrand that the Governor had not any intention to remove me from my situation, or to say that I intended to give in my resigna tion, because I have already declared that assertion to be v.!feer. I have entered into engagements with Napoleon Mona parte, but with Napoleon Iluonaparte as a private individual, ail which I entered into with the consent of Captain Mait land (.;eiptain of the ship.l belonged to) and Lord Keith, my then immediate superiors. If Napoleon Bnunaparte's health is altered for the worse, it, consequence of the cessation of the performance of my 71.eiliyai functions about him, it is not my fault, hot the fault cJv►C who, in opposition to evidence, to toy appointment) and to the restrictions of Government in 1815, having given him to und e rstand that I was not his Surgeon, but merely a Medical Officer of the Nary permitted to assist him. I do nut conceive that I have committed the smallest crime in haring communicated to Count Bertrand the circumstance which obliged me to - quit Longwood. In like manner, having always considered myself as Napo leon Buonapartes Surgeon, I do nut conceive myself in any mau, er accountable in noNhaving made use of any mystery with him, respecting my conduct, which might have weaken ed the coptidetiect.he had in me as a medical man, not Aw ing any bounds to set to that confidence, except such as my duty as au English subject, the interests and honour of my country, or obedience to the Act of Parliament prescribed. I most repeat, that to all the verbal insinuations which I received, I answered by demanding written orders. /any assertions that I have made engagements with the Freud' of a nature requiring concealment, I declare to be a calumny, and were it made by a privatr person, and I in Eng land, I would prosecute the author for defamation. If there are any acca , ations of such a nature to reproach me with, why has not his Excellency the Governor caused them to be communicated to nib ? I would, in a moment, have dissi pated them. You assert that I have served as a distributor of presents. If you allude to what took place with the Rev. Mr. Boys, as having given umbrage to the Governor, why has it not been communicated to me until the 3d of May, twenty-three days after• the order of the 10th of April ? M. Ciprian, the maitre d'hotel, died on the 23e1 of February last. Messrs. Boys and Vernon attended his funeral, and although he died in the Romau Catholic persuasion, buried his corpse in consecrated ground, and read the Funeral Service over it according to the rites of the Protestant Church.. This con duct appeared liberal aed noble, and General Montholon ask ed Mr. Boys in what manner he could mnnifest to the elegy men the satisfaction which their conduct had given ; to which a reply was made, r closing any retribution for them, hut ob serving, that a donation for the poor would be acceptable. This decided Gen. Montholon to give to each of these Gentle men a Chinese snuff-box of trifling value, and 251. to the poor. Some days after Mr. Boys, having breakfasted with General Montholon, received the 251. for the poor, and the box; and a few days subsequent, departing fur England, he sent the box to me, asking me to beg General Montholon to scud it to bum through the channel of the Governor, in order that he might be able, without any scruple, to shew it in England. When I received the letter and the box, Mr. Boys 115 gone, which obliged me to return the box, on the spot, to General Montholon, to whom I made known Mr. Boys's de sire. This, Sir, is the history of my conduct ; and I have reason to believe that the 251. were deposited in the funds by Mr. Buys for the use of the poor. There is no man whose actions, even praise-worthy, are not liable to be denigrated and perverted by the breath of calumny, which, however, is easily confounded amongst just and sagacious persons. It appears, however, Sir, from your letter, that the order of the 10th of April was really a punishment inflicted upon me by the Governor, without hearing me, and without making known to me, until twenty-three days after, the crime which had given such umbrage to him. I must beg leave merely to observe, that such conduct is not conformable either to the English laws or customs. I remain, Sir, &c. &c. &c. BARRY O'MEARA, Surgeon. To Col. Wynyard, Military Secretary.

BULLETIN. The division of General Paez directed its march on Villa del Pao, by order of his Excellency the General in Chief, in order to dislodge a large body of the enemy, under the com mand of the Spanish Brigadier Real. Oil the approach of our troops, Real abandoned Pao, and withdrew towards Va lencia. General Paez's division then marched upon and took the town of St. Carlos, after defisatin; the enemy who at- tempted to oppose him. The enemy determined to march against the forces of Ge neral Paez. For this purpose they united the garrisons of different places, and also the Civie; Corps of Caracas. With this new army, commanded by Brigadier Latorre, they pre sented themselves, on the 2d iust. in the plains of Cogede, where our troops expected them. It is in this action that the Spaniards were confirmed in the superiority of our cavalry. The enemy's infantry presented itself in columns, in the centre of two other columns of cavalry, which formed the wings. Our alloy awaited them in battle array. General Anzoatequi commanded the infantry, Lient.-Cof. C. Munoz the cavalry of the right wing, and Col. Yrribaren that of the left ; Colonel Rangel commanded the reserve. Our !lye charged the enemy with the greatest intrepidity, and not withstanding their firmness their columns of cavalry were broken, as well as great part of theie infantly. One thou sand of the enemy were killed, besides their loss in arms, ammunition, equipages, commissariat, and a great number of prisoners. Among the killed were the Spanish Brigadier- General Correa, Chief of the General Stall; Colonel Gonza lez Villa, Commandant of the Regimeet of Castilla ; and various other Officers of rank. It is also reported that Ge neral Latorre is killed, but of this we have no positive in formation. All the Chiefs of the Dragoons of the Union, of the Hussars, and of the King's Lancers, base bred killed. Our loss was not considerable, but sensibly felt, as it pre vents us from continuing fur the present our march on Valencia. The Sub-Chief of the General Staff, FRANCISCO DE I'. SANTANDER. Head-quarters, St. Fernando, May 13, ISIS. EXTRACT OF A LETTER, DATED NEW GUAYANA, JUNE 16, 1818:- The Supreme Chief has just received an official account, that the division of 300 cavalry, sent by the Spanish General Morales to the post of Guayabal, to observe our troops at St. Fernando de Apure ' were all eit her killed or taken prisoners, except the Commandant and four others, who escaped. In consequence of this defeat, Moi ales immediately evacuated Calabozo, and marched with his infantry to the hilly country of Sombrero, which is 18 or 20 leagues distant from Calabozo. By this means the Spaniards have lost the little ground they had obtained in the Plains (Lianas), and it will not be long before the Independents again occupy thy Vallies of Aragua, and make themselves masters of the City of Caracas, &c. PORT SPAIN, JU LY 20, 1818.—I enclose you the latest bul letin of the 13th May, and a letter of the 16th .tune. As the grand Coca of the Orinoco has never been blockaded, owing to the insufficiency of the Spanish marine, the intercourse with the Islands in large vessels is open and secure, and the Inde pendents have lately derived very useful succours through this channel. You perceive by the enclosed bulletin the total misrepresen tation of the issue of the battle of Cugede, which turned out an important victory to the Indepeirdents, by the destruction of the enemy's cat•alry, and the loss of a great many of their best Officers. The Spanish General Morales lately evacuated Calabozo, and retreated to Sombrero, after having lost in the action at Guayabal :300 men. Thus it is now well known how interior the Speniards arc to the Independents in cavalry, and how in capable of maintaining any position in the (I.lan o s) . General Bolivar, who, in spite of the Spaniards, is safe wind and limb, is in possession of the chief command civil and mi litary, and of the confidence of the country. 'The chief post thous of the lndependeute armies are Saa Fernaudo de We received this morning the Paris Papers of Monday lsst. The following are extracts : " PARIS, Auo. 24.—Yesterday the Duke of Wellington had a conference with the Prince de Castelcicala, the Neapolitan Ambassador. " Yesterday, before Mass, the King received his Serene Highness Prince Frederic of Hesse, his Highness the Duke of Holstein-Beck, and the Neapolitan and Spanish Ambassadors. " His Royal Highness the Duke of Gloucester arrived at Toulouse on the 16th instant, but maintained the strictest incognito. " The Statue of Louis Xlll. formerly placed in the middle of the Place Royale, is to be imme diately restored. Two hundred pounds of iron, and 2000 pounds of lead, have been used in fixing the Statue of Henry IV. " The second case respecting the assassination of Fualdes is now before the Juges d'lnstruction of Albi and Rhodez. " The English troops encamped near St. Omer, separated into different columns on the 15th, 16th, and 17th instant, to proceed to Valenciennes. " On the 14th instant a horrid murder was committed at Toulouse. A sister assassinated her brother in the public street ; she drew him aside on the pretence of speaking to him pri vately, and plunged a dagger into his heart. The orifortmulte man expired in five minutes. It ap pears that it was a deliberate act of vengeance on the part of the woman against her brother, be cause he had obtained from her 1,300 francs, which he had not returned. The Theatres are to be open this evening gratis, it being the Eve of St. Louis, and to-mor row there will be rejoicings, illuminations, &c. " VIENNA, AUG. 12.—1 t is ascertained with certainty, that the interview of Monarehi at Aix la-Chapelle will take place twelve days later than was at first fixed.
